Took a stroll down to the stage on this balmy January afternoon and was mesmerized by the turquoise waters of Kingfisher Cove.

Artwork at the stage - part 6:
We spotted this small pot a few weeks ago at and knew straight away that it would be right at home in the stage! There has been a family of crows in this cove for as long as we’ve been here and they are an ever present source of joy and wonder as we watch them forage, congregate, rob from the gulls, harass the eagles and successfully expand their family with each new season.
On a side note, and more importantly, I am also fortunate to call said Mud Nymph potter a friend who has meant a lot to me throughout the years in her ever ready ‘I’ve got your back’ kind of way - she’s also that rare sort of person who will stand up to fight beside you when she’s got nothing to gain - and for that, especially, I’ll be forever grateful ❤️

Artwork at the stage - part 5:
This evocative piece, ‘Inland Pond’ is by the one and only Barbara Houston!!
We had the good fortune of happening upon Barbara’s Sheep Shop around 3 years ago when our groundskeeper, Timber, was a wee pup and earlier this summer, when he heard we were looking for a special piece of artwork for the stage, he insisted on a return visit.
This image, for me, harkens back to Central Newfoundland where I grew up - not to mention the ever, yet never changing scenery of the trees and ponds along almost all of our highways and byways.
If you’ve not been, BarbaraHouston ArtStudio and Gallery in Bonavista is worth a visit for the location, the building, the artwork, and especially for the Barbara :)

There are 3 or 4 anchors embedded in the ground around the stage. I don’t ever look at them without wondering if, when the fisherman hauled them up from the cove for the last time, he knew that was it or if he thought he was merely putting them away for the winter. Either way, in the time that had lapsed since the last use of the anchors, a small stand of trees had grown around them - I ultimately decided to remove them to open up the view of the cove but kept the trunks to use as a fence - primarily to keep me from falling in when I was building the shower.
I somehow suspect I am better able to imagine his life than he would have been able to think that one day people would be standing on that very spot, taking showers! ⚓️ 🚿

We tend to pay close attention to the tides - especially when we’re at the stage. I’m sharing this interesting, 45 second video regarding what we thought we knew about tides because it was news to us!

The town adjacent to us, Harbour Grace, has the remnants of some amazing built heritage including the oldest stone Gothic Revival church in Newfoundland.
Many of these structures would have been built during a time when Harbour Grace was a thriving community that rivalled St. John’s in population and importance.
Some of these buildings still stand proudly as functional spaces and others are in various stages of restoration.
Some, sadly, are in ruins and others are disused and appear to be getting reclaimed by nature.

Artwork at the stage - part 3

Some people may not think of pottery as art, but the people who made a lot of these pieces are true artists. They honed their talents over many years and have created beautiful and practical pieces that we are delighted to have for use at the stage. We have known several of these potters for many (many) moons and have always admired their work and creativity and appreciate who they are as kind and caring people.
